Wineglass making goes back a extensive era, all the way to 5000 B.C. Written records of Pliney, an ancient Roman historian, state that the Phoenician merchants living in the region of Syria were the earliest to by chance stumble upon an innovative new and useful substance called 'tumbler'. However, many myths and folklore blanket the genuine finding of wineglass. Lucky for us that this accident happend or there would be no glass tumblers vgc today!

Tumbler creation in the Egyptian era The superb, and nearly ethereal, shapes that glass manufacturers generate today have evolved over the centuries. By 3500 B.C., tumbler beads had started adorning the upper-echelons of Egyptian the social order. Goblet beads and amulets, dating back to pre-Roman eras have been said to be worn as far back as 2500 B.C. For the duration of the pre-Roman times, tumbler vessels were being made but the fine art of beaker blowing had not yet been invented. The Egyptians and those in the Middle East were habitually making schooner mosaics.

Romans discover wineglass blowing It was not until the 1st century BC that glass blowing, as it is famous today, actually made an appearance in Syria (then under the Romans). This dominant finding totally changed the waytumbler would henceforth be used and, ultimately, appear. The dull task of wrapping tumbler around a core to turn it into a vessel now became so much easier with the new wineglass blowing technique. Swiftly, a whole vista of infinite promise opened up before Roman goblet artisans.

In a short instant, Rome started to dominate the glass market, as it did in many other trades. Rome quickly became the ancient world's epicentre for creation and distribution of blown wineglass and led to the glass tumblers vgc that we have today.

Tumbler works in the Middle Ages throughout the Middle Ages, tumbler was primarily made as coloured adornment for use in stained wineglass windows in the Gothic architecture that dominated the largest part of Europe at that time.

From Venice to Murano It was in this exciting period of revolution and discovery that schooner blowing began to be concentrated in Venice, which had no lessthan 8,000 schooner artisans in the Middle Ages! The Italians, however, guarded their wineglass blowing secrets zealously, going so far as to even lay down a stern decree that made sharing or 'leaking' out tumbler-blowing techniques to outsiders as a punishable offence!

Glass-making involved the extensive use of fire, which always a posed a risk to the crowded and timber-rich city of Venice. And, so in 1291, schooner-making officially moved out of Venice to the then little-known and faraway island of Murano. These Murano goblet blowers rapidly became the ultimate word in the sensitiveand era-consuming art of tumbler blowing, creating exquisite shapes and patterns that would enthrall cominggenerations. But, at the fee if their free will. No artisan or his relatives was allowed to go away the shores of Murano -- it was an offence liable to be punished by by death.

Murano artisans escape to Europe Still, many schooner makers did manage to get away Murano and it was they who spread the art of beaker blowing outside Venice and introduced it to Tyrol, Vienna, Flanders, France and England. The earliest Venetian tumbler was used for making rosaries as evidenced by some 13th century rosary beads that have been since discovered. These talented Murano schooner artisans also made a spectacular contribution to the way mirrors were made. Polished metallic mirrors started to give means to lovely goblet mirrors (women were delighted!) Nowadays, glass tumblers vgc is much in demand!

Glass blowing in China There is not much known about goblet being made in China -- even while it was being moulded into fantastic shapes and decorative pieces in far away Rome. The earliest records of schooner in China date to 221 B.C. - 220 A.D. It is believed that blown beaker was introduced to China by Persian tumbler artists. Historians now attribute the limited awareness in wineglass in ancient China to the incredible and pervasive use of paper technology. For illustration, in China windows were 'glazed' with strong, clear paper, not goblet panes. They simply did not see the need for glass!
